I am about to go on a service call to replace a few romex connectors that were "temporarily" used to tie in an overhead service. I have noticed this suggestion as a "trade tip" in a different forum, with the assumption that the local utility will come out to replace them anyway. That is not necessarily the case in the Philadelphia area, as PECO, etc. aren't always involved in service changes. Even if they are, I don't believe that they will replace a contractors taps. This may have been the case awhile back, but, if someone chooses to use this trade tip today, make sure that they will indeed be replaced. How about other localities, anyone?
